The Mexican Classic: A Delightful Clash of América vs. Chivas!
In a world rife with turmoil—political disputes, environmental issues, and the perennial conundrum of socks disappearing in the laundry—do you know what’s life-affirming? A friendly match between América and Chivas! Yes, folks, the rivalry is alive and kicking, and luckily, so are both teams, although barely! Why? Because, as we all know, an incomplete squad is just a squad on a diet. And América? Well, they’re serving a plate of heart on the field at NGR Stadium in Houston.
108 Years and Counting!
So, let’s set the stage: One day after celebrating their 108th anniversary—yes, you heard that right! One hundred and eight years of fútbol, fans, and probably some questionable fashion choices—los Águilas will be squaring off against their eternal rivals, Chivas, in what can only be described as a clash of titanically stubborn sheep. Both teams are ready to show us that even the friendly nature of the match can’t eclipse the undeniable fact that they genuinely hate each other’s guts!
What’s Cooking on the Chivas Side?
Now, let’s talk about the red and white brigade. With the recent resignation of the Argentine coach Fernando Gago, the position is more uncertain than a cat at a dog show. Who’s leading this flock into the fray, you ask? Well, dear reader, it’s Arturo Ortega, currently coaching Tapatío from the MX Expansion League. You know what they say: when the going gets tough, the tough grab whoever’s available from the expansion team! Fingers crossed he’s not just a last-minute pick-up from the local taco stand!
Recent Performance: A Painful Memory
As if things couldn’t get any worse, Chivas are staggering into this match fresh from a loss in the Clásico Tapatío against Atlas. You can almost hear the collective sigh from the fans: goals from Jhon Murillo, Jeremy Márquez, and Rivaldo Lozano gave them a showing they’d rather forget. Sounds like they were trying to win the ‘Most Creative Excuse for a Loss’ award, and boy, did they nail it!
The Showdown!
Despite the banter and the pain, this match is not just for kicks; it’s steeped in history and rivalry. We may call it a friendly, but the tension is palpable. As the players take to the pitch, expect them to leave it all out there—blood, sweat, maybe some tears, and definitely some egos!

Conclusion
So, whether you’re an eagle or a goat (yes, I’m looking at you, Chivas fans), grab your snacks, sit back, and enjoy this captivating spectacle. Remember, it’s not ‘just a game’—it’s a full-on social event where we pretend we care about what happens on the pitch while secretly judging each other’s snacks!
In the midst of the annoyance over the recent draw of the Mexican National Team, the FIFA Date was not an impediment to action in national football. And, one day after having celebrated 108 years of history, América will face Chivas in a friendly edition of the Mexican Classic.
Although the Eagles will leave with an incomplete squad, this is not an obstacle for them to leave their hearts on the field of the NGR Stadium, located in the city of Houston, United States.
For their part, the red and white Chivas are not at their best. The recent departure of the Argentine strategist, Fernando Gago, left unknowns about who will lead the helm of the “Sacred Flock.”
At least, for this match, Arturo Ortega – coach of Tapatío of the MX Expansion League – will be the one to take the reins to lead Guadalajara.
Added to this is that the rojiblancos lost the most recent edition of the Clásico Tapatío, after losing to Atlas with goals from Jhon Murillo, Jeremy Márquez and Rivaldo Lozano.
Although the match is friendly, the rivalry remains latent. Below, the schedule and broadcast channels to watch the commitment.
